Default Solar Position

Have a need for a program which will display the AZ/EL of the
sun every second from sun rise to sun set.Anyone know where such
a program could be obtained ?

Starry Night will do it, as far as I know.

Issue #41 of The Orrery newsletter. I presented a
BASIC program which calculates accurate values for
the Sun's Altitude and Azimuth. Atmospheric
refraction (you do want to correct for this, right?)
is covered in Issue #49.

The Orrery is a hard-copy newsletter. Back issues
are available for a modest sum. If interested, send
me an e-mail (un-munged address is on the web site,
see link below).
